Is there a list available with DRM-free games on gog? Apparently they sell games with DRM now and it's impossible to tell on a game's page whether it has DRM or not. Any help is appreciated

Do you also need someone to hold your hand while crossing the street?

Some games with multiplayer require the client so check for that on the game page.

Regarding multiplayer, if you want games with DRM free multiplayer too, check these posts:

That makes sense. Let's track over 3k games instead of just a small handful just because one single game plays like a demo.

Some good suggestions, thanks

I would note that these forum topics are user-maintained lists. It would be much better if gamepages specifically detailed what type of online requirements are present in the game. I would really like if they gave specific details down to percentages. Let them take the "oil rig test" that I and others have discussed on this forum and apply it; e.g., "This game has approximately 10% of its singleplayer content behind an online gate. This game has 100% of its multiplayer content behind an online gate".

That would be really helpful.

Also, games that are only available for DRM'd platforms (such as windows or mac os) have DRM-by-proxy and cannot be advertised as "DRM-free"

Then you've already got your list and there's nothing that anyone else needs to do.

By your definition, none of the games here are DRM-free, so there's no need for anyone to furnish you with a list.

That's absolute nonsense and you know it. There are DRM-free games on this store

It's less nonsensical than saying that games that you can play on Windows aren't DRM free because they're on Windows.

Anyway, you've had some suggestions that will let you build your list if you want to. Enjoy.

Not sure about Mac programs themselves, but there are emulators/compatibility layers for Windows programs on Linux and Mac.

And I think the situation is similar with consoles, whose main objective is to be a fancy DRM, but that have programs sold as ROMs and that can be played without the validation of the original device (and when they require the original system files, some times you can get official dumps from the company, also without the needing of validating the files).

I'm not sure I understand where you are coming up with this. DRM by proxy? Technically nothing by that logic. I run plenty of unsigned code on Windows. It's an annoying window, but I can select run anyway. You don't have to pay for Windows.

FYI, Linux has TPM support in the kernal it's self. DRM is far more pervasive than you think it is.
